I need to go into the bedroom and find out how much of this new John Sanford book is left, because baseball starts in something like five minutes, and everybody knows that baseball comes before books. I suppose the book’s been OK but I’m knocking stars off the final rating over technological inaccuracies and I’ll probably knock one off for the thing about Letty putting all kinds of shit in jeans pockets because we all know the pockets on women’s jeans are about as useless as tits on a bull, and according to other books in the Lucas Davenport series, Letty’s pretty fashion conscious so she’s definitely not wearing men’s jeans.

Ben Shapiro's 'WAP' Criticism Backfires | The Mary Sue (The Mary Sue)

Ben Shapiro tried to criticize Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B's summer bop 'WAP,' but he just came off as a tool incapable of pleasing a woman.

I’ll admit that I skipped over this whole thing back in 2020 because redoing the 1990’s rap freakout just wasn’t something I was interested in. But if I were Ben’s wife, and I found out that he discussed explicit details of our intimate life for clicks, (and she had to have found out because this was all over the place), I’d be very angry to say the least. And hurt. Also I’d have to check this but I’m pretty sure that publicly humiliating your wife, regardless of whether or not she’s a strong enough woman to just shrug it off, violates that whole lashon hara bit of Jewish law. His relationship with God is his own business, but even if he managed some sort of moral dispensation, it’s still an incredibly shitty thing to do and demonstrates that maybe you’re not a person who should be looked to for moral examples of what to do. And it was all for clicks and culture war points. Pathetic.
